WINNSBORO — We could NOT have scripted it any better than the way it naturally played out last Saturday night [June 30, 2012], in front of a moderate crowd at Crossroads Music Company & Listening Room in Winnsboro, Texas. OK, East Texas, just a heads-up on the fact that Crossroads is doing its part to keep QUALITY LIVE MUSIC aLIVE in East Texas, and we'd like to thank you in advance for your support of all these top-notch performers spending some of their minutes on our stage! This grouping was extra special, and I feel the need to share some of the accolades they possess:

OK, let's start with Buddy Flett!

"First You Cry" co-written with David Egan, covered by Percy Sledge, and was featured on the recent season finale of the HBO series, Treme.

Three time Grammy nominated songwriter/performer: 2011 Grammys: Best Contemporary Blues Album: Live! In Chicago, Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band Featuring Hubert Sumlin, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, Bryan Lee, And Buddy Flett (Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records)

Blues Music Awards 2011; Memphis: Rock Blues Album: Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band featuring Hubert Sumlin, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Bryan Lee and Buddy Flett ; Live! In Chicago

Robin & the Bluebirds:

Robin Beach Black sang back-up for Percy Sledge for 2 years, with that soulful voice of hers!

Stan Hoffman used to rock the house on keyboards/vocals, with the Killer Bees, one of the world's top reggae bands for 12 years!

Robin's Dad, Jerry Beach, wrote the song "I'll Play the Blues For You" which was made famous by Albert King, making the song go GOLD & selling over 1 million copies!

ALL FIVE SING! Strong vocals throughout the show! Tasty, tasty, tasty STUFF!! The Crossroads spirits have been nourished once again! ~Gus
